Moonsville Collective

Moonsville, named after a home in the sky, is a band that writes songs that are trimmed from the fat of the American experience. During a time of high saturation and modern pace, the band draws from a slower and simpler time with the belief that good songs can still save, move and speak. With multi-instrumentalists and several songwriters in the band, they keep their Americana style variable, always allowing for experimentation and the blurring of genre lines. One of the songwriters, Ryan Welch says; “Each song has a different feel but the consistency lies in the history of us playing together and the trust we have in each other to make good decisions.”

Guitarist / Vocalist Ruthie Garibay hails from Detroit "Rock City" Michigan. Bassist /Drummer Stuart Johnson is from Louisville Kentucky. Feisty Heart make music that can be described as "real instruments plugged in and turned up !" Ruthie writes intelligent lyrics from personal experiences and her voice has been described as "strong, warm and hopeful, leaving you with a feeling that everything is going to be alright. " Stuart, plays bass and drums simultaneously, bringing his own brand of excitement to their show.
